Charlie Rose: Face-to-face with Elizabeth Warren

Charlie Rose sits down with Elizabeth Warren, the Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where she teaches contract law, bankruptcy and commercial law. In the wake of the 2008-9 financial crisis, she has also become the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel created to oversee the US banking bailout, formally known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program.

Legislation circulating in Congress this week suggests that financial reform could be coming. At the center of those discussions is a debate on the powers of a new consumer protection agency and where it might be located. Warren shares her views on these and other issues.
